Thank you Hendersonville.

The Bear Buddy drive in Henderson County was a huge success. The community came out in force and supported our efforts to raise bears for the children and teens of the Heart Songs program at Four Seasons.

I had phone calls, monetary donations and bears from individuals as well as local companies, including the donation of a red wagon. It's wonderful to live in a community that supports the work we do with grieving children and teens.

With over 500 bears raised, we will be able to serve the young people of this community for several years. Way to go Hendersonville and Henderson County residents!

As we pass the halfway point of the 2013 Operation Lamb campaign, supporting charities that help people who are intellectually challenged, the Knights of Columbus of Hendersonville would like to thank Belk's, Sam's Club and South Willy's, who helped us reach nearly $2,000 in contributions thus far.

Our second-half kick off to our campaign will start with a charity breakfast at Applebee's on July 20th from 8-10:30 am. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, juice and coffee will be served. Cost is $8 for adults, $15 for couples and $5 for children under 12.
